Support the Cure

Your gift is not charity. It is acceleration.

Every dollar lands in the pipeline that gets a Charcot-Marie-Tooth therapy to a patient: the registry, the biobank, the research models, and the path to first-in-human trials. You choose where yours goes. For 25 years, the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) has been building the infrastructure a cure actually needs, and none of it happened by accident. It happened because people gave.

Where your gift goes

HNF was founded in 2001 by a person living with CMT, and it has spent every year since turning gifts into the things research cannot move without: a global patient registry, a biobank of real samples, validated lab models, and clinical sites ready to run trials. We do not just write a check and hope. We build the road a treatment has to travel, and then we help carry the science down it.

Below you can see the numbers we stand behind, the programs your gift can power, and an honest account of where a cure stands today. Pick the path that fits you, and your money goes to work.
